from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graziano Cecchini (born October 21, 1953 ) is an Italian artist and activist known for his works of "vandalism" art.

On October 19, 2007, Cecchini poured a can of paint into the Trevi Fountain in Rome, causing the fountain to pour red water for several hours. He also left several leaflets urging the public to "take color". Rome Police identified Cecchini as a vandal from CCTV footage and investigated him for alleged damage to a historical or artistic building.
